4Sight Holdings and Armada are transforming the mining sector with AI-driven edge computing, enabling real-time data processing, enhanced safety, and optimized operations. This collaboration bridges the gap between remote mining sites and cutting-edge technology, providing instant, actionable insights.
Smarter Mining with Edge AI
Traditional cloud-based data processing is slow, costly, and unreliable in remote mining locations. Armada’s Galleon modular data centers, powered by Starlink satellite connectivity, bring Microsoft Azure directly to mine sites. Combined with 4Sight’s AI capabilities, these solutions enable mining operators to process data locally, reducing latency and improving decision-making.
“This partnership revolutionizes how mines operate by providing instant AI-driven insights at the source,” said Tertius Zitzke, CEO of 4Sight Holdings. “With real-time data, companies can enhance safety, efficiency, and sustainability.”
Real-Time Insights, Lower Costs, Increased Productivity
Edge computing eliminates the need for expensive and slow data transfers by processing information on-site. This ensures faster analytics, reduced operational costs, and improved resource management.
“By integrating satellite-powered edge computing with AI, we’re unlocking the full potential of real-time automation,” said Nordine Aamchoune, SVP International Sales at Armada. “Even in the most remote locations, mining operators can now access advanced AI tools to drive smarter decision-making.”
By leveraging AI and automation, mines gain unmatched operational control, from equipment monitoring to environmental management—paving the way for a more intelligent and sustainable mining industry.
Showcasing Innovation at Mining Indaba 2025
4Sight and Armada will showcase their breakthrough mining technology at Mining Indaba 2025, held in Cape Town from February 3-6.
“The ability to process and analyze data instantly is transforming the mining industry,” said Wilhelm Swart, Chief Operations Technology Officer at 4Sight Holdings. “With AI at the edge, mines can operate more efficiently and safely than ever before.”
Industry leaders are recognizing the impact. Fred Noce, VP of Sales & Business Development for Mining Indaba, stated:
“4Sight and Armada are at the forefront of AI-powered mining solutions. Their innovations will help mining companies across Africa tackle key operational challenges and improve performance.”
Attendees can explore live demonstrations and AI-powered mining solutions at stand K44 outside the Innovation Hub.
